Filed under: Cowboys, TexansNothing tiny about the Texans lifting that Colts' hex in Week 1 after the Colts had strangled them in 15 of the previous 16 meetings. And that overtime adventure at Washington in Week 2 was especially gratifying, a Texans victory over friends and familiar schemes.
But, face it, we are talking Texas. And since everything is bigger there, it is all about Dallas arriving in Houston on Sunday. The 0-2 Cowboys. The 2-0 Texans.
The team celebrating its 50th NFL season versus the Texans, the expansion team that originated in 2002.
NFL royalty vs. NFL fodder. The hip vs. the hood.
The Texans insist that view is so stale.
They have a chance to hammer another early defining nail into the Dallas season, sink the Cowboys to 0-3 and make a dent in fan loyalty across Texas. It may take another 50 years to ultimately do that, to top Dallas in total Texas fan base, but one victory at a time for the Texans will do.
This is a game, a chance, a shot for all of the NFL's once browbeaten.
After all, we are talking the Houston Texans, the only franchise not only in the NFL but also among those in MLB, the NBA or the NHL to never reach a postseason game.
How about dumping Dallas on the road to getting there?
A good thumping on Dallas would go a long way in making the Texans more hip.
